Abandoned Amusement parks

We don’t know about you, but to us, there has always been something slightly haunting and creepy about amusement parks. Thrilling and fun filled yes, but what happens after the crowds disappear and the gates close for the night? Worse still…what happens when the gates close for good?

We stumbled across these images of abandoned amusement parks. Once filled with many happy memories and magic, these parks are now left to rot in various stages of deterioration after being ravaged by the likes of floods ( a number of the below images are from Six Flags, New Orleans which was left in ruins after Hurricane Katrina), financial difficulties and poor ticket sales. These extremely creepy abandoned parks have been captured first hand through the lens thanks to some talented (and brave) photographers who dare enter inside them.
